Liza, Light the Candle

Oh, it gets so weary, mama, riding on the midnight line
Sometimes I feel I see so much, I sense I'm losing sight
Liza, take me slowly from the darkness to the morning
'Cause I wish those times I'd been born deaf, dumb, and blind

Oh, Liza, bring your candlelight
There's something that I'm lacking, I just ain't seeing right
Lovers, they make promises, lovers, they tell lies
Don't you know that I need a friend 'til the night time ends?
So Liza, Liza, light the candle
Won't you stay with me tonight?

Some days, I'm a sunny boy, and I'm singing like a lark
Other days, I'm driven to the darkness
Just can't seem to find my spark
Almost feels like nothing, like I'm frozen, Lord, I'm lonesome
I could blame it on the blues, but I guess I lost my heart

Oh, Liza, bring your candlelight
There's something that I'm lacking, I just ain't seeing right
Lovers, they make promises, lovers, they tell lies
Don't you know that I need a friend 'til the night time ends?
So Liza, Liza, light the candle
Won't you stay with me tonight?

Airplane clothes, a cold wind blows, empty hotel beds
Blues stick by me like a shadow, what
Am I, some kind of friend of them?
Almost feel like sailing to an island to a stranger
Oh, it gets so dark sometimes when you just can't see ahead

Oh, Liza, bring your candlelight
There's something that I'm lacking, I just ain't seeing right
Lovers, they make promises, lovers, they tell lies
Don't you know that I need a friend 'til the night time ends?
So Liza, Liza, light the candle
Won't you stay with me tonight?

Oh, Liza, bring your candlelight
There's something that I'm lacking, I just ain't seeing right
Lovers, they make promises, lovers, they tell lies
Well, I need a friend 'til the night time ends
So Liza, Liza, light the candle
Won't you stay with me tonight?
